DAY 1 OF HEALTHIER LUNCHES.....

So disgusted by the lunches I was packing the kids everyday, I decided to do some research and find healthier lunches to pack.  I have asked my kids to approach this with and open mind and try everything.  They are somewhat on board.  This weekend I planned the weeks lunches just as I do our dinners and then went to the store to make sure we were ready.  I got my lunch menu from Parents Magazine so it was designed to be appealing to kids.  Today I was actually a little nervous because I was pretty sure they were not going to like what was packed.  Today's menu was half a PB and banana sandwich on wheat bread, yogurt and cherry tomatoes.  When I picked Coop up I asked him right away how his lunch was.  He said good at first but my question must have not fully sank in because before I could go on satisfied that my first day was a success he said, "Oh I DO NOT like those little tomatoes!"   The dramatic way he said it just left me laughing.  Then when I picked Raelynn up I asked her too how she liked her lunch.  Her response, "Just FYI Mom, I do not like bananas!  I don't know how you missed this!"  So after Day 1 I have one that refuses cherry tomatoes and one that refuses anything with bananas.  I am feeling pretty confident that tomorrow will be even worse but at least I only have the Princess to please tomorrow as the Prince only has lunch at school on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays!
